	DRUGS & CRIME IN PRISONS
		Whilst the reasons for succumbing to drugs when in prison are as many and varied as the stimulants which are available to the inmate population, not least among these is a peer pressure often engineered by a powerful dealer either within or without the prison walls.
		Such a strategy would encompass pro-active intelligence gathering and target operations concerning prison inmates and visitors; police visitors would be given the assistance necessary to effect their purpose and prison contacts with the police properly directed to ensure feedback is given where appropriate.

	Judge allows ‘prison gang' evidence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Deputy District Attorney Michael Risley plans to tell jurors that Williams is a member of the Nazi Low Riders, a white supremacist prison gang.
		Risley wants to tell jurors about Williams' gang membership because it explains why Wendy Strause and Roy Palmer, who were in the car, were scared to tell detectives the truth in the beginning of the investigation.
		Risley said he doesn't plan to call Strause to the stand because of this.

	[PRISONACT] Lawyers Hope DNA Testing Clears Convict
		Michael W. Risley, the prosecutor in each of William Richards' trials, said he is "fairly confident the DNA analysis will not exculpate Richards," who was convicted on circumstantial evidence.
		Risley said investigators accounted for every shoeprint and tire mark on the property, eliminating the possibility that anybody but Richards was the killer.
		Risley said Brooks and the Innocence Project attorneys have tried to prove Richards' innocence out of a "few peculiarities" in the case.

		Some of the plaintiffs testified that prison officials told them that they would not be granted parole unless and until they completed the SOP, and the defendant does not dispute that completion of the SOP functions as a de facto requirement of parole for most New Hampshire sex offenders.
		At the preliminary injunction hearing, prison officials testified that Hancock is the prison's "low-rent district" and compared South to a hotel.
		Prisoners may earn a place in South because they have a clean disciplinary record or because they participate in a treatment program like the SOP.

		Although I was interviewing prisoners about their educational background, inevitably during these lengthy in-depth interviews we discussed the nature of the establishments and those who work there, the way sentences were proceeding and what rehabilitative work was going on in prison to address the reasons for offending and to reduce the likelihood of recidivism.
		The twelve women's prisons I visited during the two research projects are listed in the Appendix, although I should mention that my knowledge of HMP Foston Hall is confined only to social visiting: events overtook me and I was unable to apply to visit this prison for a longer period of research.
		I also became a volunteer helper on a minibus service that escorted children to see their parents in prison: I felt strongly that by meeting the families of women prisoners I would have a fuller picture of what being in prison means to a woman whose children are left at home.

		Organised gangs are operating inside the 1,100-inmate Risley prison, near Manchester, the largest adult male training jail in England and Wales, according to a report published today by the chief inspector of prisons, Anne Owers.

	GM free Prison diet - hunger strike success at Risley
		The prison system now has the opportunity to make a positive contribution to this issue by recognising the right to choose a genetically free diet.
		However, the Governor of HMP Risley, Mr Johnson, did say that the prisons food policy was available to the public and he was open to discussion.
		It was discovered that all the soya milk used for vegans at Risley is organic and therefore GM free and the beakfast cereal was GM free also, although the margerine and pitta bread could well have contained GE soya and oil though and so were refused.

		No prisoner who has participated in the sex offender treatment programme at Risley prison has been moved to Wymott on a compulsory basis, although four prisoners who had completed the formal treatment have so far chosen to go there on voluntary transfer.

		However, their intentions were taken seriously and the three were charged with "conspiracy to commit criminal damage" and remanded to prison.

		The idea is not just to support the prisoners, but to use their action and court case to encourage further nonviolent resistance to the international terrorism of the Trident system.

		In a judicial review hearing supported by penal reformers, the girl's lawyers challenged the general Home Office policy under which all female prisoners under 21 are sent automatically to one of five adult prisons for assessment and allocation to juvenile units.
		The judges were told that the girl had been found a place at Styal women's prison in Cheshire, which had facilities for juveniles, and would not return to Risley.
